Partitions

Choose where you would like Red Hat Linux to be
installed.

If you do not know how to partition your system, please
read the section on partitioning in the Red Hat Linux
Installation Guide.

If you used automatic partitioning, you can either
accept the current partition settings, or modify the
setup.

If you just finished partitioning with fdisk, you must
define mount points for your partitions. Use the Edit
button, once you have chosen a partition, to define its
mount point.

If you are using Disk Druid, you will have to define
mount points for one or more disk partitions. You may
also need to create and/or delete partitions at this
time.

Partitioning Your System

The center row of buttons controls the partitioning
tool's actions. You can add, edit, and delete partitions
here. In addition, there are buttons you can use to
accept the changes you have made, or to reset and exit
the partitioning tool.

     * New: Use this button to request a new
       partition. When selected, a dialog box will
       appear containing fields that must be filled
       in (such as mount point, filesystem type,
       drive that the partition should exist on,
       size, and so on).
     * Edit: Use this button to change the mount
       point of a currently selected partition. You
       can also manually create a partition by
       editing free space (if available). Editing
       free space in this sense is similar to using
       fdisk in that you can choose where the
       partition begins and ends within that free
       space.
     * Delete: Use this button to delete a partition.
       A dialog box will appear asking you to confirm
       the deletion.
     * Make RAID: Use the [Make RAID] button ONLY if
       you have experience using RAID. To learn more
       about RAID, please refer to the Red Hat Linux
       Customization Guide. To make a RAID device,
       you must first create software RAID
       partitions. Once you have created two or more
       software RAID partitions, select Make RAID to
       join the software RAID partitions into a RAID
       device.
     * Ok: Use this button to save your partitioning
       selections and continue the installation.
     * Reset: Use this button to cancel any changes
       you may have made.
